Persuasive Essay On Abortion

What is overpopulation? Overpopulation has been defined as a situation where the number of people in an environment exhausts all available resources weakening its needed support. (Morse &Mosher) For years there have been reports of how many people are expected to live on earth by the year 2050, 2075, and so on. However, the question remains as to whether everyone will have a secured spot. Today, in 2017 there have been plenty of fights with the scarcity of resources, where overpopulation becomes the topic of conversation. However, to solve this issue the option of abortion was brought to the forefront by scientists and advocates such as Dan Savage who mentioned that abortion should be mandatory for the next 30 years in or to control the

“In her own case, Ms. Brenneman said she was a 21-year-old junior at Harvard when her birth control failed and she had an abortion. ‘It allowed me to choose when to become a mother,’ she said. ‘As a mother now, I know I was correct at 21… I didn’t have a college degree… I didn’t have an income. I didn’t have a marriage. I didn’t have anything a child needs. And I didn’t want it” (Liptak, 2016). Brenneman, among the 24% of women who will undergo an abortion during their lifetime by the age of 45, chose the best decision for herself at that specific instance in her life, described in the personal testimony above (Jones, 2014, p. e1). The recent attacks on women’s reproductive rights by the Republican Party, although grounded in “protecting

The vast majority of people in the United States support the rights of woman and men alike. This right makes them free to pursue dreams of happiness and freedom, to do as they choose as long as it does not infringe on the rights of other “humans.” That is honestly the root of the issue with abortion in this country; we firmly believe in the rights of humans, but we treat a fetus as if it was none human. Science has proven through deoxyribonucleic acid (DNA) that an unborn baby is indeed human, so if it is human then the only remaining question would be, “When is the fetus alive?” To find the answer, one must first start with the end in mind. This proposal will do just that, start at the end to explain the beginning and through a small amount of compromise, the abortion controversy will be solved with a common sense and responsible approach.

Abortion has been one of the biggest controversies of all time. Many people believe it is immoral and even consider it to be murder. The definition of abortion is; “The termination of pregnancy by the removal or expulsion from the uterus of a fetus or embryo prior to being capable of normal growth.” 1 These pro-life believers do not support the idea of induced abortion and believe it should be illegal. Many of these supporters do not know that if abortion were illegal they would still be performed, unfortunately by an uneducated staffs. Over 70 thousand maternal deaths occur every year because of unsafe abortions1. These women die, so the idea of supporting pro-life is contradictory, this is why the nation should be pro-choice.

In terms of suicide, people may argue that this should not be included in this argument since what is taken away is the person’s life as well, it is still life. No matter how heartbreaking the situation is, the person still does not have the right to take his own life. Many may say that this is a non-debatable topic, but I am talking to the readers who might know someone who may be suicidal or who is suicidal himself/herself.

Abortion is a “fundamental right” according too, and guaranteed by the U.S. Constitution. There is a choice to be giving by those who intend to have an abortion there are no laws against doing so. Most people will argue that abortion is murder but in this case there is no harm being done to anyone this including the fetus who in most cases will not feel pain or suffering during the procedure. The most harm that will be done is to the one having the abortion, because they have to live with knowing there whole life that they could have had a child, but for good reasons could not have one at the time. A woman should have the right to choose if they are ready to have a child, mistakes are made and horrible things happen to some women and

Abortion is a battle in America. Abortion is a very controversial matter in society. An abortion is the ending of pregnancy before birth which results in the death of an embryo or fetus (lee). In the United States, it is legal to abort a baby up until the day of birth. Many people consider abortion to be as cruel as murder while others believe it is just a medical procedure. Although some might say abortion is justifiable, others believe that no one but God has the right to take a life. With an issue like abortion, there is extreme difficulty in determining if it is right or wrong.

Pro-Life supporters believe that the fetus is a person, a human being that has the right to live, and an abortion is considered murder. A fetus is not a person and does not have any rights. A fetus is not and have not been considered a human being. A fetus is not able to survive on its own. The fetus depends fully on its mother’s body.

I’d like to discuss something that should be a totally uncontroversial topic. Unfortunately, it has become a bit controversial over time. Let’s be honest for a minute, if you think about it, over a billion couples will have sex with one another and rightfully so. My philosophy is that all these men and women should be free to decide for themselves whether they want to or not conceive a child. Whether or not they want to start a family. They have the right to make that decision for themselves. In making that decision, they should be able to use one of many forms of birth control methods that exist. One form of contraception I want to discuss is sterilization.

When a woman gives birth, they are choosing to take the many unbelievable and unpredictable paths in their future, but if they choose to end the life inside, they only reveal a brief and quicker path to a broken life. The controversial topic about abortion has been talked about for generations and it’s time to set a limit-20 weeks. Scientific evidence shows After 20 weeks, the fetus begins to take shape of a life form and can at this point feel pain. An unborn baby should have the opportunity to take their first breath. Abortions are not only stopping a human’s chance to make a new influence on the world, but it’s also increasing the chance that the mother could develop mental and emotional effects.

In addition to fetus’s not being a life, another stance is that there should be no regulations on when a woman can get an abortion because as a society we should assume the best of women. It should be assumed that women who choose to have an abortion do it for the right reasons, and are not deciding to have an abortion just because they can. However not all women choose to have an abortion for the right reason, but ultimately it is their decision. Everyone should be allowed to choose what they want to do with their bodies. The women who have abortions for the wrong reasons such as spite, should not influence the overall decision of if women should be allowed to have an abortion. In a similar context, after the terrorist attack on September 11th, 2001, many people decided to categorize all muslims as terrorists based on the fact that the attacker was of the same religion. But just because one woman has an abortion for the wrong reason does not mean all women will, which is why there should be no regulations since every circumstance varies.

As we get older it isn’t uncommon for woman to get pregnant, but with that you also hear about abortions more frequently. To me woman shouldn’t have an abortion unless it is for a medical reason. According to the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention in 2014 there were 652,639 cases of legal abortions in the United States. if you really put it into perspective out of 1,000 women 21.1 of them have had an abortion. To many people that may seem like not a high number but to me I think about lives that could be here on earth if the baby wasn’t taken for a reason such as the mother’s life is endangered, or the mother had been rapped. What I don’t exactly stand for is when they have abortions because they can’t afford the baby, the parents are just teenagers, or simply just because they don’t want to have a baby. As all three of those difficulties could be solved with getting help from the government, help from a school and counselor on how to budget money, family members could help, or even as a last option putting your baby up for adoption. Taking the life of a baby for a non-medical reason is not okay because there are plenty of other options.

Abortion has become a social issue in the united states and it is because there is an argument weather human rights should be given to the unborn children, but wanting to take away the option for abortion is taking away rights from women. Abortion is an extremely sensitive topic for many people, mostly for woman and religious people. There is controversial arguments between pro-life; those who believe abortion should be illegal and with pro-choice; those who believe abortion should be up to the woman to decide. An abortion usually needs to take place during the first three months of the pregnancy. Doctors have to methods to completed the procedure; the most common one being suction curettage which involves removing the fetus from the womb by scarping the woman’s uterus. The other method is by taking a pill which causes the body to block the hormone progesterone which helps with the development of the embryo.

Abortion is constantly called on for being a crime and should become illegal. Abortion is considered wrong during late term pregnancy although, the woman's life is being threatened the more she progresses towards the time she is due. Women who are in life threatening position during their pregnancy should have the right towards abortion. Due to the women being inefficient towards continuing further on in their pregnancy. Also, the women should be allowed the right to abort because it is still their own body and at the end of the day it should still come down to their decision. Another important reason that abortion should be legal is that some women were not even allowed the choice to conceive due to being abused and raped.

To begin, there has always been a huge issue with the topic of abortion, why? Well, it’s a tough subject and can get extremely emotional and very defensive. Honestly, people just need to open up their eye’s and understand that it's murder and not just a choice. It is murder because two can create a blessing and the choice of aborting it, is more like a sacrifice for the reason a mother can’t carry a baby for nine months. Whether a person is a teen, young adult, or an adult and is in a horrible situation that believes they cannot proceed with the pregnancy, they should know there are other options. Teens aborting an unborn baby is not a choice and should be banned because it is wrong without parental consent, the rights of a child, and it’s murder.
